Cyprus?
Americans: How the hell have I meant to know what Cyprus is and what the size of it is?

As a non-American I was very aware of that. Maybe a TIL in the making... :-D
edit: Cyprus, if that helps
edit 2: or 1 Gambia / Lebanon for Africans / Asians

Maryland. Sorry, I thought that was common knowledge. If you type in "What is the size of MD?" Google comes up straight away with that so I presume it was a recognised term. Obviously not. Sorry

I don't think MD is a recognised abbreviation of any of those
edit: in fact, as a Scotsman I can categorically state that MD has never been an abbreviation for the name McDonald. McD, yes, but never MD

We're the same with postcodes in the UK. Edinburgh is EH but Croydon is CR, even though there is no CN. And Shetland is ZE (but, in their defence that's cos the council was called Zetland until 1975. Still confuses everyone nowadays though)
